The song HAS to be playing before they start to run through the banner. Who is in charge of that ?
It's been mentioned a few times that it's outside the control of the club...

I've been to a couple of Port home games this year and they seem to have a similar issue, the last one I was at the players just ran through the banner anyway and the Port song started playing when they were running through the centre circle...

The 'R' word has more than one meaning. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. My feeling is he used the word as a means of saying delayed rather than a nasty reference to someone with a physical or mental disability.

I'd guess the opposite - I don't recall the last time I heard someone use the word for its correct meaning.

The reaction to BT was not excessive, his apology was a hollow not-apology and the "punishment" was as soft as expected. Things never change because people are allowed to continue to get away with it.

I believe Razor Ray was using the word '******ed' in the correct sense, and not the offensive one

I don't see how anyone could think Chamberlain was using the 'r' word in any way but the derogatory term... Not that I think anything should really come of it because I don't think the umps should be mic'ed up in the first place - the last thing he should be having to think about out on the footy field is whether or not the TV channel is picking up what he is saying to the players...

BT is an idiot and a throwback - Anyone who just thinks the reaction is 'PC going to far' is as much of an idiot at BT - It's about common decency and politeness in society... the he was "just having a laugh" crew should grow up and realise that taking the piss out of your mates in your own, immature social circle is completely different to a television broadcast

I agree, but the hysteria and desperation to try and martyr him for the cause is embarrassing.

It was a stupid thing to say, he should apologize and that should be the end of it.

“Let me explain, we get this ******ed chime which is meant to go simultaneously with the siren. I heard that go in my ear, that’s why I blew it."

if he said it in the "non offensive" manner, then the chime would have gone after the stadium siren. :confused:

BT has been heading for this for years. It's fascinating to watch someone implode when their ego makes them think they are invisible.

Maybe he did then, hadn't seen a transcript

Normally I'd agree, but its the 2nd time in a month he's done it
